What are you missing? Got spark? injector pulse? Fuel pump prime? Got power at the injectors? Coil?

Check fuse 9 in the block on the side of the dash.

With the ignition switch On, verify you have power at terminal 86 on the ASD relay.

If you have power there, check resistance to ground on terminal 85 while cranking the engine. (should be zero.)

Could coil cause this? It checks out to ape btween cylinder but has nothing from the b+ terminl to a cyl. Not sure which slot 85 is.

Ok, next step is to verify power at coil, and injectors. When you are actually cranking, should have power, power will go away three seconds after you let off the key, if the engine ain't runnin'.

Ok I trailored the truck to my house. The coils packs have no power when the key is turned on. I will go out and test for power while cranking.

If your scanner isn't connecting with the pcm, either the power to the pcm (ignition switch can be badbut still turn the starter) or the pcm or ground to the pcm. Any of these will also give no spark or injectors opperation as the pcm engages the ASD relay.
